Chinese laws do not prohibit car modification, but they do ban illegal and unauthorized modifications, as such modifications can impact vehicle safety and management. Therefore, they are not permitted. Additional information is as follows: 1. Dangers of Illegal Modifications: Modified vehicles on the road pose certain safety hazards, and in the event of a traffic accident, the consequences could be severe. For example, changes to the electrical circuit, if not done professionally, can create fire hazards; altering the vehicle's chassis structure can affect the tires, suspension, and braking system; and using low-quality parts can increase the risk of accidents while driving. Many cases of vehicle fires and traffic accidents are caused by unauthorized modifications. 2. Illegal Modifications Include: Illegal modifications refer to changes to the vehicle's appearance, power system, transmission system, or braking system that exceed the original design load capacity and functions permitted by national laws and manufacturer agreements. This includes replacing key components.

What to Do When a Roewe Car Won't Start Due to Dead Battery?

Push-starting is the most familiar and effective emergency starting method, but it is a last resort and should not be used frequently as it can damage the engine. If you have another vehicle and jumper cables available, you can also use the battery jump-start method to start the car. The method and principle of tow-starting are similar to push-starting, but using a tow vehicle is often more effortless and convenient. This method requires a tow rope of appropriate length. Car emergency power banks work similarly to phone power banks—simply charge the car when the battery is dead to start it.

Can a Manual Transmission Converted to Automatic Pass Annual Inspection?

Converting a manual transmission to automatic cannot pass annual inspection as it constitutes illegal vehicle modification. Modification Requirements: When modifying vehicle colors, three colors are reserved for special-purpose vehicles and cannot be used: red for firefighting, yellow for engineering rescue, and white-over-blue for national administrative law enforcement. Modifications to the body, frame, or engine are only permitted if the original components are irreparably damaged or have quality defects. For such modifications, documentation from a repair shop and proof of origin for the replacement engine, body, or frame must be submitted. Modification Regulations: Widening tires or modifying the intake and exhaust systems are prohibited. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations" by the Ministry of Public Security, altering tire specifications, intake systems, or exhaust systems on in-use vehicles are not permitted modifications. Such changes may affect engine power and compromise driving safety.

How to Pull Out the Middle Seat Belt in the Back Seat?

Adjust the height of the height adjuster to allow the seat belt to gain extra retraction, thereby restoring its retraction performance. Smooth out the seat belt and slowly stretch it back and forth at the entry and exit points. Once the seat belt retracts smoothly, you can slowly pull it out. If the above two methods are not feasible, it is likely that there is a mechanical issue where the seat belt connects inside the car, in which case repairs will be necessary.

How to Deal with Driving a Scrapped Vehicle on the Road?

Driving an assembled vehicle that causes a traffic accident will require bearing civil liability. Generally, driving an assembled vehicle infringes upon the rights of others. Transferring an assembled or scrapped vehicle that has reached the end of its service life through sale or other means, which results in a traffic accident causing damage, will hold both the transferor and the transferee jointly and severally liable. If the infringer is subject to administrative or criminal liability for the same act, it does not affect the assumption of tort liability in accordance with the law. If the infringer is liable for both tort liability and administrative or criminal liability for the same act, and the infringer's property is insufficient to cover all liabilities, tort liability shall be prioritized.

How to Start Driving a Car?

After starting the car's engine, press the clutch pedal all the way down with your left foot to completely disengage the clutch. Shift the transmission into first gear. For most car models, first gear is located at the front-left position. The shifting action should be precise and swift. Depending on the car model, press or lift the electronic handbrake button. When the handbrake indicator light on the dashboard turns off, it means the handbrake has been released. Continue to hold the clutch pedal down with your left foot to keep the clutch disengaged. Press the accelerator pedal with the tip of your right foot while slowly releasing the clutch pedal with your left foot. Once the car starts moving smoothly, you can repeat the process of pressing the clutch, shifting gears, and pressing the accelerator to complete upshifting.
